Paring it down

Over the last few years I have acquired two storage units full of stuff.
Stuff that I was going to fix, sell, keep or give away. Now I am faced with the task of getting rid of it all. As I am going through these treasures, I am amazed at the stuff I forgot I had. And its not like I can just throw it away. I didn't save just junk. It all has value. Someone would want it. So anyway, I am down to 1 1/4 storage units.

Mike, a fellow traveler on the Swap meet circuit says that he has a philosophy when it comes to "stuff". He claims that if he does not touch it for six months, he throws it away. I had a wife once that had this view. But with a slight modification. If I didn't touch something for six months she would throw it away, but only if it belonged to me. She had no such policy when it came to her stuff. This kind of got on my nerves, so I stopped touching her. Yeah, you guessed it.

Anyway, I have a couple of friends that have the same affliction that I have. They too collect stuff that they can fix, keep, sell or give away. They have promised to take whatever I decide to leave behind. So now I must decide what to take.

About Me

I am on a journey of discovery. When I was 16 I hitch hiked all over the United States. Just me and a backpack. I hope to repeat the journey, but this time a little slower and in an RV. My RV is a relic from the past. Much of the adventure from this trip involves whether my RV will break down.
I hope to post pages about the places I visit and the people I meet along the way.
I hope to use my access to the web as a method of paying for the trip. This part has gotten off to a slow start. I also intend to share what I learn about Web income along the way. The Main Web site is www.1willwander.com. I will branch of from this site from time to time as material warrants. One such branch is www.fremontstreetlasVegas.blogspot.com. It is focused on the single place Fremont Street. You get the idea. My dog Boo is my only traveling companion. She doesn't talk too much but she is good company. See you along the way.
